"Bishop Antonelli!"
General Rennio stared directly at Antonelli, his deep blue eyes like gems seemed to be able to see clearly all the filth and filth deep in Antonelli's heart, and his whole body exuded the energy of a beast. The breath frightened the sycophant beside the pope and took several steps back.
Antonelli, who usually lived well in Rome and was respected by the monarchs of various countries when he visited, had never seen this posture before. He said to General Regno in a trembling voice: "General... General, am I wrong...? "
General Regno continued to look at Antonelli with his sharp eyes and said slowly: "Mr. Antonelli, don't you think a brief thank you is too cheap?"
"I..." Antonelli opened his mouth and was speechless. He understood the subtext of General Renault.
What a greedy guy!
Antonelli couldn't help but feel a little angry. Now it was time for French soldiers to regain Rome for them. The only thing they could count on was the French Republic.
[PS: During the talks between France, Spain, Naples, and Austria on the issue of the Papal States, Austrian diplomats followed the orders of the new Austrian Foreign Minister and Prime Minister Prince Schwarzenberg and refused to provide assistance to the Papal States, and will restore the papal state. The mission was to hold France back. Naples and Spain could only sway along the lines of the Austrian Empire due to their lack of strength. Pius IX could only rely on the French Republic. 】
"Cheap thanks are certainly not enough to express His Majesty the Pope's gratitude to President Napoleon!" Antonelli showed a flattering smile, his body hunched slightly: "His Majesty the Pope told me that once he returns to Rome, he will continue to work in Rome. Spread the gospel of God!”
Then, he said cautiously: "I personally think that the president should not be satisfied with the position of president. I believe that with God's blessing, the president will be promoted further..."
After receiving the promise from Pope Pius IX, General Renault's tense expression revealed a smile, and his uncomfortable eyes like a wild beast gradually changed into those of the grandfather next door.
Antonelli breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that General Renault basically agreed with the "repay" plan he proposed.
At this point, Antonelli could not help but gain courage and said: "Your Majesty loyally hopes that Bonaparte can return to their original position, and we also loyally wish that Bonaparte can protect France from generation to generation!"
The Papal State, which once had a "deep hatred" with the Bonaparte Empire, has now become an "ally" of the Papal State.
This undoubtedly shows that the Papal State can cooperate with any country, as long as they can ensure that their power is not violated in Central Italy.
Compared with the Papal State, which can freely jump around in the diplomatic field, the Austrian Empire based on conservative diplomacy is more like a "religious" country full of strong flavor, and the owner of this country, Joseph Franz, is even more of a Pope Pius IX was a more conservative guy.
At least Pius IX had to implement conservative policies for his own power, and Joseph Franz himself was consistently conservative.
"I believe Mr. President will be happy!" Renault nodded with satisfaction and added: "If Mr. President is happy, we will be happy too!"
"Yes! Yes!" Antonelli nodded and bowed and said to General Regno.
At this moment, Edgar Ney ran in. As General Renault's adjutant, he reported to General Renault: "Commander, we have received news that the first group of Garibaldo people will be here today." Breakout towards Porta St. John in the evening!"
Before General Renault could respond, Bishop Antonelli standing next to him blurted out: "We must not let them break through successfully!"
Bishop Antonelli, who had some knowledge of the situation in the Roman Republic, was certainly aware of Garibaldi's "great achievements."
If this person is allowed to escape, there will probably be no peace in the Papal State.
In fact, Antonelli still hopes to establish an armed force that has always belonged to the Pope. The French army only needs to help the Papal State recover.
Antonelli's words aroused the eyebrows of General Renault and Edgar Ney.
After nearly a month of working together, Edgar Ney and Rennault have already achieved the "skill" of being able to understand each other's thoughts just by hinting with their eyes. General Rennault signaled Edgar Ney to leave with his eyes. go.
After Edgar Ney saluted Reinio, he left without taking Antonelli seriously.
"Dear Commander!" Antonelli looked at General Renault anxiously, and his words became more respectful.
"Don't worry! Bishop Antonelli, my soldiers and I will definitely keep Garibaldi here!"
After saying that, General Renault stamped his foot twice with his heel and emphasized: "This (referring to the inner city of Rome) will be his burial place!"
"But, what if..." Antonelli said reluctantly.
"Don't worry! Your Excellency Bishop, I will personally supervise this battle!" General Regno assured Antonelli again, "How about you go to the battlefield with me and witness with your own eyes how the French soldiers killed Garibaldi!"
Antonelli felt a little moved.
However, Reinho's next words dispelled Antonelli's thoughts: "I'm afraid that bullets don't have eyes on the battlefield. If you, Bishop, unfortunately die..."
Regno shook his head and sighed, as if Antonelli's fate was destined to die on the battlefield.
Antonelli, who mustered up his courage, immediately shrank back.
At present, the city of Rome is full of rebels. They hate Bonaparte's loyal lackeys, and even more hate Antonelli, the lackeys who follow the Pope.
The notorious Antonelli did not dare to place his own safety on the French army.
"I'd better forget it!" Antonelli forced a smile on his face and said humbly: "I will wait for news of the general's victory in Civitavecchia!"
After that, Antonelli turned and left.
General Regno showed disdain on his face as he watched Antonelli leave.
After bidding farewell to Antonelli, General Renault rushed to the battlefield and met Edgar Ney at the French forward position.
It was already 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and the afterglow of the setting sun was spreading its every ray of light, just like the Roman Republic which was about to end.
The French army that had cleared the inner and outer rings of Rome was gradually approaching the east side of Rome. They were trying to eat up all of Garibaldi's troops in Rome.
"Commander!" Edgar Ney, who was holding a command sword and ordering the soldiers to charge, looked at General Renault on the horse. He hurried to General Renault and said anxiously: "Commander, the situation is urgent now. Garibaldi's The hunters [snipers] are secretly shooting at our black guns, you should dismount!"
"Major Edgar!" General Renault, who was riding on the horse, did not seem to hear Edgar Ney's dissuasion. In his opinion, if he dismounted, it would not mean that he was afraid of the Garibaldi Chasseurs. This invisibly dealt a blow to the French army: "Call Brigadier General Niel over!"
"Yes!" Seeing that General Rennault refused to dismount, Edgar Ney had no choice but to order a few cavalrymen to surround General Rennault to protect him. Brigadier General El is coming.
"Telescope!" Renault on the horse stretched out his hand and said to the cavalry beside him.
The cavalryman handed his telescope to General Renault. General Renault, who was holding the telescope, saw the teams gathering around several abandoned villas in the distance.
This team of nearly a thousand people rushed toward their abandoned position under heavy artillery fire. They wanted to regain their lost position.
The French commander who was responsible for guarding the position was also a guy who was not afraid of death. The two sides were fighting in the ruins that had been smashed.
"Not bad!" Renault nodded with satisfaction. The French soldiers had already used their actions to prove that they were a brave and capable force.
Not long after, Brigadier General Niel and Edgar Ney came to General Renault, and they both saluted General Renault respectively.
"Brigadier General Niel, ask your troops to quickly shrink the encirclement and compress the encirclement to the area from the Lalange Church to the Porte Saint-Jean!" General Renault gave the order to Brigadier Niel.
Brigadier General Niel showed a surprised expression. He learned from Edgar Ney that Garibaldi was about to break out from Porta St. John. He couldn't understand why General Renault followed Garibaldi's wish.
However, as a subordinate of General Renault, he only needs to obey orders.
When Brigadier Niel left, the French troops a few villas away also won the victory after receiving reinforcements.
General Renault looked at Edgar Ney and asked: "Major Edgar, how did you know that Garibaldivan broke out from the Porta St. John!"
"This..." Edgar Ney hesitated for a moment and then said to General Renault: "General, come with me!"
General Renault and Edgar Ney, who were riding horses, came to a palace that had not yet become ruins, where they met a young missionary.
Edgar Ney introduced the identity of this excessively young monk to General Renault.
General Renault hurriedly respectfully addressed the monk as "Your Highness."
This is Lucien Louis Napoleon, nephew of Jerome Bonaparte.
"General, I learned this from my father! I hope it can be of help to you!" Lucien Louis Napoleon said to General Renault.
"Is Prince Kono in the house?" General Renault asked cautiously.
"My father no longer cares about politics, so..." Lucien Louis Napoleon showed an apologetic expression.
"Then we won't disturb Prince Kono!"
